CCRMC 2025 Fiesta of Gems Workshop

Make skinny rings using Argentium Silver. Argentium has a higher fine silver content than regular sterling, making fusing easier than with regular sterling. Fusing is connecting metal without using solder. Argentium is extremely slow tarnishing when compared to regular sterling. You will learn to control the flame of a Butane torch, making a seamless joint. Time permitting, we will make and attach embellishments.
